Four people were killed and 88 others injured after two passenger trains collided in Egypt’s Giza province on Sunday, according to the Health Ministry.
Footage shows the aftermath in Al-Ayyat, with ambulances and civil defence teams deployed around the wreckage as residents gather nearby.
Egyptian National Railways said a train travelling from Giza to Fayoum struck the rear of another heading from Cairo to Aswan, derailing several carriages.
The Health Ministry said 72 ambulances were sent to the scene to transport and evacuate the injured.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi expressed condolences to the families of victims and extended wishes of swift recovery to the injured.
“I have instructed state authorities to provide the necessary medical care, promptly investigate the circumstances of the accident, and hold accountable anyone found responsible for negligence,” he wrote in his X account.
Emergency crews and cranes were deployed to clear the wreckage and restore services on the Cairo-Upper Egypt railway line.
Egypt recorded 170 train accidents in 2025, down from 220 the previous year, according to the country’s Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics.
